The great American economic recovery continues to also be a farce, with
the actual participation rate being 90 million (not 150 million) people.

The labor participation rate is currently at historic lows. 

And of the 90 million that do work, very few of them earn what a typical
IT person earns.  So your estimation of the worth of those wasted 21
thousand hours is way off the mark.

So you can stop being an apologist for the AV/AM industry.

Others here will note that you did not quote the statistic of the 40%
failure rate of AM/AV software.  Now imagine the number of additional
hours being spent by very expensive IT people dealing with the fallout
of that.
